2. Hop over to Philly’s mecca of the macabre, the Mütter Museum (19 South 22nd Street, Center City), where you can make an appointment to view nearly 400 medical incunabula — editions printed prior to 1501 — and letters of Civil War surgeons.

3. Half a mile away is the Rosenbach Museum (2008 Delancey Place, Rittenhouse), with more than 400,000 rare manuscripts and art objects, including a leaf of the iconic Gutenberg Bible and the original manuscript of Joyce’s Ulysses.
